Albergo Vista Lago

Hotel was overlooking Lake Como and the views were stunning and that's all it had going for it.. The restaurant and bar were closed. There was no television, the safe didn't work, the fridge didn't work and the towel rail didn't work. Fridge was replaced but was still not cold enough to stop milk going off. Breakfast was just okay. Staff spoke very little English and very disinterested. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel was nice the area is very quite the good thing is near the funicolare station so you do not have to walk too far !! The price for the funicolare is a bit expensive 5.30 € for tourist :( the staff in the hotel are very helpful and the chef lady is very welcoming. It is very Italian family atmosphere in the hotel. Enjoy your holiday to you all

Room and bathroom was extremely clean. Staff was friendly. Wonderful breakfast buffet. View from the balcony the breathtaking. You can see the Alps and Lake Como. We can hardly wait to return to this wonderful hotel.

This was my second stay at this hotel, I am very happy to have returned. Excellent location overlooking Lake Como and the City. Only 200 meters from the Como–Brunate funicular railway. The hotel is having some work done to update the rooms.

We enjoyed our stay there tremendously. The room was clean, the view fantastic and breakfast adequate but not abundant. We were however disappointed by the service and maintenance of the hotel because the overhead light in the room was broken when we arrived and we agreed to remain in the room until the next morning when we were promised that the bulb would be replaced. However, the following night, the bulb was still not replaced and again we were promised that the bulb would be replaced the following day. Yet again we were promised that someone would come and fix the light but unfortunately the light was never fixed and our room was in perpetual darkness. We were offered an alternate room, however, we chose not to take this option because: 1. Our friends were next door on the same floor and 2. we were offered a room without a view when the one we had (although dark) had an exceptional view.

We stayed two Nights. Personal is really friendly and the rooms are clean. Breakfast also exceeded our expectations. the village is quite and nice with a lot of nature around. Como is reachable by public transportation in 7 minutes. overall a good deal for the money..

The hotel was quite expensive but the service was terrible and the room was primitive and uncomfortable with only one rickety chair (though quite clean). On arrival we discovered that the restaurant was closed and when we asked about alternatives, all we could get is that there were others around--we couldn't get them to say where or even the names of some they might recommend. (We diud find a restaurant nearby, the Bella Vista, that was good but we found it on our own, without any help from Vista Lago.) We had a car and parking was difficult (though we were lucky to find a place nearby). In the evening, however, apparently one can park in the courtyard in front of the nearby church. The breakfast was terrible, making us glad, in retrospect, that the restaurant had been closed. The road to Brunate is narrow and twisting and because of the lack of parking, we didn't venture out by car after our arrival. The view was nice, but from our room it was partially blocked by another building. (The view we did have was of the Villa d'Este directly aross the lake.)

We stayed in a room on the top floor which has outstanding views of lake Como and the surrounding area. For this reason only would i recommend the hotel. The room itself was adequate, breakfast a bit minimal on choice but equally adequate. Unfortunately the staff were rude and dismissive which made us feel a bit uncomfortable at times. Lovely location in Brunate and spectacular views saved the place!! Book it only if you can get a lake view room.

While the room was spacious, modern and clean we didn't find the staff to be very friendly, professional, or accommodating. They were not comfortable with English-speaking patrons so did not try to be helpful. One night's stay might be okay but more than that is inconvenient because you have to pay for the funicular to haul you up and down the hill (~6 minutes each way). Once there, you walk about 3 blocks uphill to the hotel. There are no restaurants in the area as The Hotel Vista Lago is located in a residential neighborhood. Had we known this ahead of time, we would have stayed in Lake Como.

The hotel is nested into the hillside like most of the buildings in this area. The balcony rooms have a nice veiw of lake Como. Church bells provide a 7AM wake up call with a 1 hour snooze button... The hotel is nice clean and efficient. Everything was clean and well maintained. Its a nice place to stay and do some hiking or cycling in the hills nearby, and the Feniculare provides quick transit to Como below. There is no wifi at this place or any place nearby. Cellular data does work but at slow speeds. Best way to get there is train to Como Nord and short walk to the Feniculare. The hotel is quite close to the Feniculare at the top.
